Post by macdee »

I know I know
but I've been looking and can't decide on anything I have high level exchausts so they will need to be short
Any ideas for the front as well ?

Same boat as me, I can find any decent looking ones for the front.

Do you have an aftermarket undertray?

I had the same problem, couldn't find any I liked and certainly don't like cheap and tacky small aftermarket ones, so I went the whole hog and bought 4 genuine Aprilia RSV ones, they look great, I just had to fabricate a bracket for the rear because I also have high level exhaust.

Mines a 2001 FireStorm, when you see the indicators you'll see that they are used on quite a lot of Aprilia models.
I'll try and find some pictures, it's quite a bit of work to get them right, but in my opinion it's worth it, I really don't mind putting the time and effort in if the end result has the desired effect, you'll also have to fit resisters because they are 10W bulbs instead of 21W

This topic interests me too. I was considering Oval side repeaters from a Fiesta or similar. Has anyone fitted these? Or anything similar?
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

You're sorted now, but when I was running high levels close in to the tail there wasn't room to fit much except flush ones, so I fitted a universal tail tidy and numberplate holder with indicator mounting points on the tidy's bracket.

It put them in the right position to miss the cans, just. Nice and snug but see-able from the side as well as the rear.

But I was running MIG 100mm diameter cans; bigger ones or ovals might not clear- you'd have to measure up.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
